Here's the latest – and the last – update from South Dakota State football fall camp. It's officially game week:

Redshirt freshman Mason Leiseth, the likely fifth defensive end, will miss the entire season due to injury, according to Jackrabbits coach John Stiegelmeier. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder from Hamlin High had been in and out of workouts before being ruled out. The most likely candidates to move into that spot are true freshman Chase Kern – he'll be on the travel roster this week, but not necessarily to play – and senior Eric Tuschen. "(Leiseth) had done a really nice job," Stiegelmeier said of the second-generation Jack. "Disappointed for him, disappointed for his family."

SDSU scrimmaged Saturday morning, although it's not worth making too much of the results given that guys like RB Zach Zenner were limited in order to avoid injury. That said, DE Kevin Klocek again showed ability as a pass rusher.

After the scrimmage, SDSU junior CB Je Ryan Butler was asked an open-ended question: What's stood out to him from camp? His answer: redshirt freshman receiver Jake Weineke. Butler thinks this year's receiving core – although not as proven coming into the season aside from Jason Schneider – will be more explosive than the last."He's had a tremendous camp," Butler said of the 6-4 Weineke, a former Minnesota all-state pick from Maple Grove. "It's made me a lot better corner going against him – he's a big, strong guy."

Although the season is just beginning, NFL draft speculation already has begun for the two-time All-American Zenner. CBSSports.com is among the first major sites to chime in, listing the senior from Eagan, Minn., among its top 10 small-college prospects. Here's the bit.

StubHub has more than 1,000 tickets for the SDSU at Missouri game ranging from $22-347. Standing room only passes are selling for $15 from the Mizzou ticket site.
